Brown blood flowed from the corner of Lin Yiwan's lips. She just pushed Chen Zhilan and Zhan Yu felt distressed.

Did he forget that she had worked tirelessly for three days and three nights to develop a prescription for curing the plague in order to allow him to gain merit?

Blood gushed out of her throat, making Lin Yiwan's face pale and ugly.

She glared at Zhan Yu mockingly and said hoarsely, "If there's an afterlife, I'll personally send you two scumbags and bitches to hell. You'll be roasted in flames! Boiled in boiling water! You'll die without a burial place!"

Zhan Yu's eyes flashed with ferocity. He grabbed her chin and slammed her head against the wall.

"Bang!" Lin Yiwan fell on the stone couch like a rag doll.

Chen Zhilan's pretty face turned pale with fear. She reached out her hand to feel Lin Yiwan's breath, then suddenly huddled in Zhan Yu's arms and said, "Yulang, she's dead!"

Zhan Yu said with disgust, "It's good that she's dead. Just say she couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide. Then have someone wrap her in a straw mat and throw her in a mass grave!"

At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted: "The Marquis has won the battle and returned home!"

Zhan Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed Chen Zhilan's wrist and urged, "Let's go and pick up Father. He'll be so happy to hear that you're pregnant. We'll have an heir!"

The two men hurried out of the cell, but the body lying on the ground suddenly moved.

Tears welled up in the corners of Lin Yiwan's eyes. She whispered, "Zhan Yihou, you're back too late!"

Boom, a loud thunder suddenly exploded in the air.

Zhan Yan, wearing bloody armor, stumbled back to the Marquis' Mansion. His anxious eyes were eagerly searching for the gentle and well-behaved figure.

She would call him softly, "Father-in-law, are you back?"

Every time he heard her scream, his heart ached like a raging sea.

He was only eight years older than her, but because his body was destroyed on the battlefield and he was unable to perform humane deeds, he had to watch his adopted son marry her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

He thought, as long as he could see her and stay by her side, it didn't matter what her status was, as long as she was fine.

In order to avoid awkwardness in the meeting, he volunteered to go to the border to guard it for three full years.

Until she received a secret letter from Lin Yuanzheng, saying that she had contracted a serious illness and begging him to come back to take charge of the situation.

He hurried all the way and finally stepped into the gate of the marquis' mansion.

But the son told him, "Father, you came back a step too late. Lin has already died. Because we have elderly people at home, I didn't hold a big funeral and decided to bury her directly!"

Zhan Yan's whole body shook. He seemed to see a little girl running towards him mischievously. "Hey, how are you hurt? Don't move. I'll help you take care of the wound. It won't hurt at all!"

Her soft fingers stroked his bleeding calf, making him actually forget the pain.

That was the first time we met!

When they grew up, their identities changed dramatically. He was the father-in-law and she was the daughter-in-law!

With a plop, he suddenly knelt in the rain.

Zhan Yu hurriedly helped him into the study, still mumbling: "Father, Lin is dead, but there is good news at home. Zhilan is pregnant. You will soon be a grandfather. You should be happy!"

Zhan Yihou, whose face was as pale as jade, sat upright on a chair, his whole body exuding a frightening cold aura. He frowned as he looked at Zhan Yu and Chen Zhilan, both of whom were kneeling on the ground, and said, "The entire Zhan family cannot escape responsibility for Lin's death!"

Zhan Yu argued anxiously, "Father, Lin Shi was already suffering from a serious illness. Zhilan even knelt in front of the Lin Mansion for two hours to ask for medicine for her. How can you blame her just because you came back?"
